Crazy amazing Bordeuax value from Castillon. Try the 09 and 10... This is also very good but a little too extracted for my taste today

Modern but plenty of Bordeaux character. A smaller scaled version of Pichon Longueville, silkier and softer.

raspberry notes, dry, strong tannins, reminds me of a lighter merlot, medium bodied, agree with earthy undertones.
